About game
Connect vibrant buttons in this relaxing puzzle by dragging a thread across matching colors. You trace lines up, down, or diagonally to collect buttons and fill your spool before running out of moves. Button Box turns simple sewing supplies into a clever challenge that keeps your brain sharp. Linking five or more buttons creates a golden knot which acts as a wild card for your future chains. You earn coins for every successful level to buy helpful tools like thimbles or measuring tapes in the shop. Hundreds of stages track your progress as the difficulty increases with every board you clear. This match 3 game tests your ability to spot long sequences while managing your limited thread supply. Play Button Box right in your browser without any downloads required.
How to play
Press a button and drag the thread over neighbouring buttons of the same kind — up, down, sideways and diagonally. Release it: a chain of three or more goes onto the spool. Reach the metre goal before your threads run out.
Changed your mind mid-thread? Move back onto the previous button and the last link unties. A chain shorter than three costs no thread.
On desktop the mouse works the same way — hold the button and drag. With the keyboard: arrows or W/A/S/D move the cursor, Space adds a button to the thread, Enter winds the spool, Esc drops the thread.
Tips: a chain of five or more ties a knot and pays extra metres; a golden button fits any kind; every fifth level is a breather; if no chain is left on the board, the box is shaken for free.
